Obama is doing it again. He is choosing pleasure over duty. The President will not be attending Nancy Reagan’s funeral because he is going to a festival.
According to The Daily Caller,
President Barack Obama will not attend Nancy Reagan’s funeral this Friday, and will instead be in Austin, Texas for the annual South by Southwest festival.
His wife, Michelle, will be present at the funeral.
Following the former first lady’s death Monday, Obama said, “As somebody who is lucky enough to have an extraordinary partner in my life as well, I know how much she meant not just to President Reagan but to the country as a whole.”
The South by Southwest festival includes film, music, and technology conferences. On Friday, there will be film festival screenings, including for the new Peewee Herman movie, and SXSW comedy.
President Obama skipped out on Justice Scalia’s Funeral and now he is missing Nancy Reagan’s. For someone whose actions influence so many and who supposedly thought so highly of Mrs. Reagan, why would he miss this event for anything?
